Real Time Information (RTI) and other PAYE and national insurance (NI) planning guides.

Whether an individual is an employee or self-employed in a particular situation is a question of fact depending on the terms under which he or she works. When you engage someone to do work for you, you have to decide whether or not to apply the PAYE rules. It is up to you to get it right or suffer the consequences.

Real-time information (RTI) is a system introduced by HMRC for the reporting of payroll information, which requires employers and pension providers to provide detailed information to HMRC every time employees are paid rather than through the year end return.

If you have income from more than one job, or if you have self employment income as well as being employed, you should take care to ensure that you do not pay more in national insurance contributions than you need to.

Employee share schemes, such as share incentive plans (SIPs) and Save As You Earn (SAYE) schemes, are increasingly being used by firms to reward good staff performance and retain workers, and make an attractive remuneration package when recruiting.

Our story, so far

In 1966 Martin Cordell, whose father-in-law and many other family members were Licensed London Taxi Drivers, saw how they struggled to deal with their taxation affairs. He decided to set up a business that could handle accounts for taxi drivers and other sole traders. He realised that it was pointless making it a complicated issue and that it had to be explained in a plain and easy to understand way.

So Martin Cordell and Co was born and today is the largest Taxi Drivers Accountants in London, handling thousands of Licensed Taxi Drivers' accounts using state of the art computer systems.
